Decanter World Wine Awards

Bodren is a synonym of supreme wine predicates. The winery
has spread its vineyards in a region of absolute ecological
attributes, on rested hills of the gentle Hrvatsko Zagorje. Thanks
to Bodren's owner and winemaker, Mr. Boris Drenski, this small
region abounding in castles, has been reliving its centuries-old
noble hedonistic tradition.

Our vision is to expand the vineyards but at the same time to
preserve an authentic, traditional way of farming, harvesting and
production that we could control on our own, as well as to
continue to further improve the quality and maintain the highest
standards in our wine production. The style of wine that we
would like to nurture and strive for is that of Bodren 2009
Icewine – fresh and alluring dessert wines in which vibrant
acidity is well balanced against the sweetness, characterized by a
concentrated harmonious aroma and rich flavour, low alcohol
and high residual sugar content.
2008.
2008
As there is never enough hedonism, in 2012 Bodren winery
broadened its winegrowing capacity to around 30 000 grape
vines in total. Apart from Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay,
Riesling and Traminer grapes, the winery has planted additional
vines of Yellow Muscatand Sauvignon Blanc. Mr. Drenski would
also like to try his hand at cultivating a native grape variety of
Hrvatsko Zagorje – Krapinska Belina, a synonym of Gouais
Blanc or Weisser Heunisch, and a forefather of well known
Chardonnay grapes.
Decanter World Wine Awards
2010
An accidental encounter with predicate wines has outgrown into
a grand love for environmental friendly wines, representing a
rich ten-year experience today. Drenski's first appearence in the
market was shy, but recognitions for his vision and undisputable
quality came from all international wine competitions for his first
vintages. Besides many international awards and gold medals,
last five years Bodren winery has been awarded six Gold, eight
Silver and six Bronze medals at the Decanter World Wine
Awards in London. In 2011 Bodren icewine 2009 has won the
DWWA Regional Trophy and it has been included in Top 10
sweet wines.
Immersed in this aristocratic nectar and inspired by innumerous
inexhaustible ideas, Bodren winery is boldly becoming an
ambassador of the region and an example of potential reaches of
high enological quality.
2008
Recognizing microclimatic potentials in his native Zagorje that
guarantee grapes high in acidity, often stressed as a
disadvantage of the dry wines from this region, a skillful
winemaker has used it to advantage. The vibrant acidity is well
balanced against sweetness and reduces the sensation of weight;
it makes for fresh and alluring wines. Bodren's
Trockenbeerenauslese and Icewine are characterized by a
concentrated harmonius aroma, similar to that of meadow
honey. With a botrytis note, which adds to its freshness, the low
alcohol content places it into a “medicinal” category. Limited
quantities of predicates made solely from recommended grape
varietis, due to special conditions of ripening and harvesting, are
distinguished by its exceptional quality.
Recently the idea of enotourism or wine wellness has emerged in
form of a predicate village where the visitors would, among
other, be able to taste and buy a selection of these top quality
wines.
